Get ready, Seahawks fans—Christmas is coming early to Seattle this year. According to KJR radio host Dave Mahler, the Seahawks are set to host the Los Angeles Rams on Christmas Day in what promises to be a heated NFC West showdown. After last season's epic battles, including a Seahawks victory in the NFC Championship (yes, the Super Bowl champs did it again), this holiday matchup could be the gift that keeps on giving.

The Seahawks swept the Rams at Lumen Field last year, thanks to a spark from re-signed wide receiver Rashid Shaheed and some clutch improvisation from DeMarcus Lawrence. With both teams in win-now mode and bad blood still simmering from those monumental games, expect major playoff implications and plenty of drama under the lights.

This year’s Christmas Day features three NFL slots: two games on Netflix at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. PT, plus a primetime game on FOX. For Seattle, this marks a historic first—the Seahawks have never played on Christmas Day before. But Lumen Field is no stranger to holiday football, having hosted the San Francisco 49ers on Thanksgiving in 2023. While that game is best left forgotten, the Seahawks have a strong track record under holiday lights, including wins over the 49ers in 2014 and the Dallas Cowboys back in 1986.

Imagine unwrapping a Seahawks win over the Rams as your Christmas present—sounds like a perfect way to spend the day, whether you're at the stadium or watching from home. We'll know the full 2026 schedule when it drops alongside the rest of the league on Thursday night at 5 p.m. PT. Until then, start planning your game-day gear—this is one holiday you won't want to miss.
